Monochromatic

I decided to make a new layout for today’s blog post. As I was looking through what was left of my August kit (and there wasn’t much) I noticed a large amount of yellow/orange still left. I thought it would be fun to do a monochromatic layout.

I used a this sweet photo of my niece I took on a family visit a few weeks ago. My sister doesn’t scrapbook, so I often make pages of her kiddos for her.

I used Photoshop Elements to crop the photo in a circle, using the cookie cutter tool. To add a little more color to the background, I used Studio Calico’s Mister Huey’s in Sunshine and Buttercup. After that, I added my cardstock strips and embellishments.

The August kit has plenty of variety to do several different monochromatic layouts. I think I might have enough pieces left to do a blue page too! Have you ever done a monochromatic layout? I would love to see them, link them up in the comments if you have one to share.

I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years. It is not only memory keeping for me, but a creative outlet, a way to combine telling my story and being able to play with paper :) My family is very supportive and indulge me in “quick” stops to the craft store often
